We have a 1974 Plymouth Duster. The previous owner made a mess of the wiring inside the car and the engine. We're planning on installing new wiring for the car and engine as well as new hoses for the engine. Anybody know of a company that sells all-in-one kits, or individual kits?

Yes it does.I swerves all around when it gets past 30 mph

We have 1974 Plymouth Duster. around 30-40mph the car randomly starts SHARPLY swerving to the left. When making long turns or bends the brakes or tires;not sure, make a screeching noise. What could it be?

A daily driver, with power under the hood, no big plans for the strip. just a mean street machine. Would a combination of sizes be a good idea? *bigger rim size in the back* I've seen that in some other cars.

LOL it did, it looked mean as hell! but the handling was crappy, the front end was super jumpy, and the tires would scratch the fenders on turns ; / Were probably going to go for the that stance but at a higher height. Can't explain it very well :mumum:

What size rims do you recommend?

Got the new Torsion Bar assembly/adjusters this weekend. here are some pics XD IT WAS easy. I thought it would be really difficult. Thanks for all the help, we couldn't have done it with out you guys! Most of the pics are before and after. In the last picture the Duster's front end is...

Torsion Bar Adjusters/assebly came in this weekend. After trail and error we got the right ride height we wanted. The old assembly set. with the temporary "Tba" the dumb mechanic installed, after stripping the old one. Some shots are before and after. The pic where the front end of...

Long story short. We took the duster to a shop to be lowered,the mechanic ended up stripping the block and bolt on the Torsion Bar Assembly/Adjusters. We ordered a new pair.(both sides) A couple of guys here on FABO told us it shouldn't be too difficult to replace and adjust them at home. The...

Would any of you happen to know the original rim and tire size of 74' Duster 318 and 340? I don't think the rims and tires on the Duster are the right size.

@Rocker'sDuster: yep, Northridge, California, We found it on craigslist, and drove about 100 miles south, (about 30 miles from the US/Mexico border) of L.A. to pick it up. I think i've seen your duster at a car show.(The van nuys cruise) Is this you? YouTube - ‪Van nuys cruise...

@asktoro:When we bought the car it came with a 600CFM Edelbrock carb model 1408 and an aluminum manifold from edelbrock, they look pretty old, but I'm sure when we clean them up they'll perform better.I'll post pics soon

yeah, lol sorry.Im new to cars. Im learning as i go. yea sub frame connectors.

"I think what you want is just a good all round car that can lay out rubber, a street fighter of sort which is what I'm doing." You read my mind! it's an auto, probably going to make it manual. WOW i've never seen a 340 get 600hp! 0.0 amazing setup, you have to post pics, when you get started...

You're right. Me and my friends are asking around for paint scheme ideas,were still not sure what the end result color will be, but what were sure of, is that we want it to be a 1.street/strip car 2.daily driver 3.Reach high 12's in the Quarter Mile. "giving out" was an extremely bad choice of...
